I don't think the people who really know think Edwards is too short at 5'11'' or that his throwing motion is anything but super.

Completeing 65 percent of his passes over four years and throwing for over 10,000 yards while rushing for an average of over 1,000 yards a year is not the stuff of chumps, but I think intangibles count more than metrics for a lot of coaches.

I also don't think that winning two championships and going deep into the FCS playoffs the other two years counts (again with those who know something) as playing against sub-par competition—he has maybe 24 total wins against top 20 FCS teams and one top five FBS team. Top 10 FCS teams can beat about ½ of the FBS teams.

Edwards is smart (he graduated in 3.5 years), is well liked by teammates and coaches, has never been anything but an outstanding representative of the school and has a 42-7 record as a starter.

His seven losses: LSU (defending national champ), Richmond (eventual FCS champ), McNeese St (a top 10 FCS team), Montana FCS (FCS runner-up), Ga Southern (lost in the FCS playoffs)...you get the idea. App State played no bad games with Edwards in the game in four years.

In my opion, some team is going to take a chance on him as a quarterback and get very well rewarded.
